As I get older, I appreciate Thanksgiving so much more. The fact that it is about family, friends, and togetherness; not to sound like a Hallmark card or anything. Safe travels to all and enjoy your holidays.

About Me
- Phillydizzi Bride to Be
- I am 25 year old getting ready for our nuptials on May 01, 2010. I am currently a graduate student majoring in Occupational Therapy. I love to write and I love weddings (well I used to). I thought it would be a great way to blend a few of my loves into a blog. Sit back and enjoy while I attempt to juggle planning a wedding on a budget while doing schoolwork. So let the madness begin!!

Sushi Makes Everything Taste Better...
I was waiting in the Marriot lounge, reading a book, waiting for my fiance when something disturbing happened. Aside from the fact that I was unable to meet with my graphic designer, I've been having a pretty good day. I decided to call my father because both sets of parents met on Sunday and I wanted to play "nice" and get his perspective. BIG MISTAKE!!!!
Here is the recap from the parents' first meet:
1. They love each other...which is nice.
2. The food was good...not that I ever doubted my mom's cooking.
3. My father put the crazy ass notion in my in-laws head that the wedding should now be in Philadelphia because he cannot whittle down his part of the guest list. (Its not like the wedding is in 160 days or anything...)
Then I called today and he just made me angrier. I thought I was the one getting married but apparently I am just a side note in the real show that is starring the man that is my father. Ok I'm done venting. I've just had some shrimp tempura that my baby bought me adn I feel much better...for now. I will need lots of sushi to get through this wedding.

Quick Update
Hello! I know I have been negligent in reporting the mundane details of my upcoming wedding but honestly, there has been nothing to report. I am finalizing my contracts with my reception and ceremony place and thats pretty much it. I have a long list of things on my to do list, it has just been difficult to do with school and being ill for a few days.
I went on Theknot.com and it said that I had a 160 days left til my wedding. Does that sound right to you? I am FREAKING out! That sounds way to close for everything that I have not even done yet. Plus today the parents are finally meeting. I had to say a special prayer that all goes well. I have no idea what to expect and I am trembling in anticipation.
This week I get to meet with the graphic designer who is designing my invites; hopefully she has something ready and I love it. Plus I have set some fire under my dad's buttocks so he can finalize his part of the guest list. They are taking forever. And I still have to go to David's Bridals and look at the dresses so that my bridal party can order them. I am such a procrastinator, but what can you do? Looking forward to Thanksgiving with my fiance and in-laws. Always have so much fun with them. If I don't get to say this later, HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!
Oh and almost forgot, I had a photo session with the friend who may be my photographer and I was impressed with her. Not so impressed with myself, I need to get much more comfortable being in front of the camera. As corny and crazy as this may sound, I have been practicing my faces in the bathroom mirror. Lol. On that note, I'm out.
